The coldest Hong Kong in 6 decades- Why not hotpot?

The coldest Hong Kong in 6 decades-what’s better than having hotpot to kick away this sickly fretting 3-degree week? Suggested was a steaming warm hotpot place where you can eat fresh, in a local way, with reasonable prices.It took us some time to find out the store among these small streets, (in the middle point among Jordan, Yau Ma Tei and Austin station) ; but luckily there are many direction single on our way there.


We have devoured freshly caught sashimi, marbled beef, handmade cuttlefish balls and a good selection of seasonal seafood that we can cook in its signature pot of bubbling broth piled high with clams, pig stomach and pepper胡椒豬肚花蛤湯.


If you are searching for a lighter broth, soup base made from stewed beef is good enough.

Hand made fish ball and cuttle fish ball ( made that with a spoon yourself)


Feel free to ask for a recommendation of seafood from the staff as they have seasonal seafood and sashimi freshly kept at the huge fish tank right outside their restaurant; but be ware that price is also seasonal- you’d better confirm the price before any ordering.

Worth noted is its freshly deep fried tofu skin roll #響玲( middle right) which you can eat that with salad dressing or get smothered into the soup based for only 5 sec which has soaked up all the goodness from the pot.


Do not expect modern and fancy decor; it’s a typical local eatery  with fluorescent light, big Chinese round tables and floor with white tile. 新皇牛海鮮火鍋 has put all his effort to please the patron’s stomach instead. If you have a bunch of people and need a bit more privacy, book a separated rooms there.
Remember to book in advance, to secure a private room, or a perfect spot where u can watch TV! Keep warm guys!
